' THE DESTITUTION AT THE SOUTH.
PROSPECT Of CONGRESSIONAL BELIEF.
GEN. HOWARD'S REPORT ON THE SUBJECT.
VIEWS OF THE DISTRICT COMMANDEES,
4c. Sx., Sec.
WASHINGTON, January 4.-General Howard
has sent in a report to General Grant, cover?
ing reports from Generals Ord, Gillern, Han
cock, Canby, Soo ;t, and other officers, bearing
upon the destitution, present and prospective,
of the Southern States. These documents
state in substance that the sudden fall in the
price of cotton, together with the failure of
crops, has produced great depression, anxiety
and apprehension, and il is generally behoved
there will be g-eat suffering for want of food
in Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina,
before the closo of winter, and that relief, in
some Bhape, must be afforded to prevent the
anarchy that ma iy apprehend. General How?
ard recommend) that the attention of the
President and Congress be called to the
report, with 8. view to some thorough,
practical mode of relief. It is suggested
that if a fund could be established from
which employers might draw, on paying rea?
sonable interest, it might afford temporary if
not permanent relief. General Canby favors
relief through such a fund, or through the
issue of provisions, taking a lien upon crops
for security. It is also recommended by some
prominent persona that a loan of thirty mil?
lions in currency, to be seoured by bonds and
mortgages and other good security, for the
benefit of all Stntes in extreme need, be made.
Generals Ord and Hancock recommend the
repairing of the levees of Mississippi by the
Government.
Gen. Howard remarks that the destitution at
the South, though undoubtedly wide spread, is
probably somewhat exaggerated. He says that
last year Southern gentlemen estimated that it
would take two million dollars, whereas half a
million met the necessity. He thinks this
year's distress will not prove so stringent as
represented by Governors Orr, Humphrey and
others; but before spring there will doubtless
be snaring in South Carolina, Mississippi,
Louisiana, and e. -all sections in other States,
and urges the Presiusnt and Congress to in?
augurate a system of relief which will not
pauperize the people. Gen. Howard, with
General Grant's approval, has directed the sub
commissioners to relieve absoluto distress, and
has directed the purchase of corn tor distribu?
tion in the most needy sections. No bureau
is to be retained South except upon the repre?
sentation of sub-commissioners that their ser?
vices are imperatively needed. Gen. Howard
says certain politicians have taken advantage
of the suffering in the regions where destitu?
tion prevails to further their own interests,
and are trying to reduce the price of labor to
board merely, and thus get control of the la?
borers.
Governor Swann's message represents the
assessed value of property in Maryland as
larger than before the war, notwithstanding
the emancipation leese.-.
The receipts from lateros! Eeyeauo to-day
amounted so $1,090,000; for the week, $6,250,000;

HEAIKJOARTERS FIFTH MILITARY DISTRICT, )
NEW ORLEANS, January 1,1868. j
{General Orders No. L]
Applications have been made at these head?
quarters implying the existence of au arbitrary
authority in the Commanding General touch?
ing purely civil controversies. Une petition
solicita (his action, another that; and each re?
fers to Borne special consideration of grace or
favor which he supposes to exist, and which
should influence this department. The number
of such applications, and the loss of time they
involve, make it necessary to declare that the
administration of civil justice appertains to
the regular courts. The rights of litigants do
not depend on the views of the General. They
are to be adjudicated and settled according to
the laws. Arbitrary power such as he has
boon urged to assume has no existence here.
It is net found in the laws of Louisiana or
Texas; it cannot be derived from any act or
acts of Congress; it is restrained by a constitu?
tion, and prohibited from action in many par?
ticulars. The Major-General commanding
takes occasion to repeat that while disclaiming
judicial functions in civil cases, he can suffer
no forcible resistance to the execution of the
proceso of the courts.

Affairs In the State.
-Dr. Reynolds, of Columbia, has received a
patent for an important improvement in the
construction of artificial teeth. The Columbia
Pheonix says: We have seen specimens of the
invention immediately referred to, and from
the familiarity we possess in suoh matters, as
to ourselves and family connections, do not
hesitate to pronounce this improvement au
entire success, calculated, as it is, to obviate
the annoyance experienced by those unfortu?
nate enough to have had trial of the present
mode of supplying lost teeth.
-Two freedmen, named Charles Morgan
and Robert Williams, employed on Judge
Green's farm, met in a store in Columbia,
where Williams had gone to return a musket,
which he had borrowed a short time before.
The men were on good terms, and a friendly
scuffle occurred between them, during which
the gun-loaded with powder and a paper wad
only-accidentally went off, and the contents
was lodged in the pit of Morgan's stomach.
The wounded man was carried home, and lin?
gered until yesterday morning, when ho died.
An inquest returned a verdict that the deceased
came to his death by a musket in the hands of
Williams, and "by misfortune and contrary to ,
his will."
-The Orangeburg News says: At Lewis- 1
ville, on New Year's day, several armed bauds 1
of negroes under command of Captains and '.
Lieutenants, assembled and repaird to the ,
church, where, as a Union League, they were
harangued by some Radical orators with in
fiamatory speeches. Those produced immedi- <
ate fruit; for after tho meeting was dismissed <
and they began their return-march through
tho village, they indulged themselves in an 1
indiscriminate cursing of the whites, and a 1
general discharging of thier fire-arms. In
front of one of the stores three volleys were l
fired. So disorderly were the negroes that a j
Federal officer on a paaeing train, had it stop- i
pud and stepping out expostulated with them i
and advised them to disband quietly. His
words were unheeded, and the rio ting continued .
several hours. i
-The Yorkville Enquirer gives the following '
particulars of the recent fatal affray in that
place: On Tuesday evening, the 24th ultimo,
our town was saddened by an affray of the
most painful character. The ladies connected
with the Presbyterian Church of this place. :
had arranged to have a Christmas tree and :
other festivities at "Moore's Hall," on Main (
street, in behalf of the Sabbath School of their .
Church. Towards the cioee of the entertain- ;
ment, and about nine o'clock in the evening, .
some missiles were thrown through the win- ;
dows of the ball, from a party of persons in
the street in front of the building, and some !
little boya, it is supposed, responded by .
throwing sticks of wood into the crowd in the
street. The persons in the hall becoming ex
cited by the demonstration outside, three or ,
four gentlemen, among whom was Dudley
Jones, jr., a young man of high charaotei,
went out upon the street to ascertain the
cause and character of the disturbance. '
While in the street, Jones used some violent
language towards those who had thrown the
missiles into the hall. The company in the
hall soon afterwards dispersed, and as Jones ?
returned by the hal], after conducting a lady .
home, he was called to account by Thomas A.
Smith and William Snider-two young men
veil esteemed in the community-for the lan?
guage he had used respecting the authors of .<
the disturbance. Some sharp words ensued,
and Jones, it seems, was attacked by them and ?
struck several times, when drawing a pocket?
knife, he . began to cut promiscuously at his
assailants. Thomas A. Smith received a se?
vere blow from the knife, cutting his throat
from one side to the other, and producing
death almost immediately. William Snider
received a severe wound from tho same knife,
in the side and abdomen, from which, how?
ever, it is hoped he will recover. Shortly after
the painful occurrence,. Jones placed himself
in tho custody of the sheriff, to await a judi?
cial inquiry into the affair. JoneB was released
upon a Dond, with sureties in the sum of $2000,
for his appearance at the Court of Sessions.
THE RABIOAUS AND THE SOUTHEBN STATES.
The Washington correspondent of the Worces?
ter (Mass.) "Spy," admitting in the fullest ex?
tent the destitution, suffering and chaotic con?
dition of the Southern States, complains bit?
terly of the apathy of the Republicans on the
subject. Pressing as are the political necessi?
ties of the party in the South, the "Spy" says
it seems almost impossible to raise money
enough to carry on the campaign, and it adds :
"The Republican party, to insure success, to
compel and maintain peace, must have the
ten unrepresented States reconstructed and
brought hack in time to vote for their candi?
date next November. Failing in this the coun?
try may as well squarely look at the issue
which then sternly arises in its path-that of
meeting au internicine struggle consequent
upon the refusal to count tho vote of the South?
ern Democracy, which will be surely cast for
the party's nominee whoever it may be. Of
course, the fortieth Congress will count the
vote of no State which is not represented."
On this the New York "TimeB" (Rep.) re?
marks :
"T -ogramme is not inviting. Tho Rad?
ica.- we . jcermined, it seems, not to admit the
ten Southern States, unless they are so recon?
structed as to secure their votes for the Radi?
cal candidate; and if they are not readmitted
Congress will not count their electoral votes at
all, as they will certainly be cast tor the Demo?
cratic nominee. ThiB struggle has become ex?
clusively one for party SUCCBBB, and it is open?
ly avowed that measures will be resorted to for
the sake of victory which may plunge the
country afresh into civil war. There certainly
is virtue and strength enough in the people to
we tao country from, euch a peril,"
The New York Herald's Account from
Charleston.
The Charleston correspondent of the New
York Herald gossips aa follows ander date of
December 28:
The composition of the State Convention
will be about sixty mulattoes and blacks and
flfty-sevea whites. Nine of the latter are
Massachusetts men formerly connected with
the Freedmen's Burean, who were discharged
from service on their election to the Conven?
tion.
A strange revulsion of feeling against
Northern adventurers has taken place among
the blacks. The leading negroes elected to
the convention have become jealous of their
influence, and declare that South Carolinians
shall govern in that body. They appear to
have recently imbibed au the intense local
State pride of the old white ruling power of
South Carolina. -
The white population take bat little interest
in the matter, regarding the whole action a? j
illegal, resulting only as it must in forced ne-'
gro equality and negro domination in the
State. At the same time, however, they en?
tertain the best feelings of good will towards
their late slaves, which will do more for
solid reconstruction than all the enactments
of Congress. Some of the oldest and ablest
lawyers in this city and other portions of the
State have been consulted ~by the colored dele?
gates, and it would not be so very supriaing if
the advice given is followed, a constitution
acceptable to the majority of whites and
blacks shou'd be adopted by the convention
and ratified by tho people. The two extrome
classes of the community-monarchists, rep?
resented by the old, impracticable chivalry,
and the extreme Radicals, mostly of recent im?
portation from New England-will be avoided.
Dr. A. t?. Mackey, the distinguished Masonic
author and Collector of this port, is the almost
unanimous nominee of the delegates for Presi?
dent of the Convention.
THE A ?BEST OF BBADLET, THE NEOBO IN?
CENDIAS? AT SAVANNAH.-Aa already an?
nounced, that pestilent, pettifogging, peram?
bulating nuisance, Aaron Alpeoria Bradley,
has at last fallen into the hands of the Philis?
tines. The Savannah Advertiser of Saturday
gives the following particulars of the arrest :
Yesterday evening, as Mr. John E. Hayes,
editor of the Republican, was walking down
the Bay with a friend, Bradley met lum and
commenced talking about what he called the
abuse of himself which appeared in the Re
Eublican yesterday morning. Mr. Hayes asked
im how he dared to speak to him, and order?
ed him to leave or he would have no more
scruples in shooting him than he would a
skunk. Bradley withdrew, and Mr. H. passed
on to his office. In a few minutes Bradley
came to the. window, accompanied by several
negroes, shook his fist at Mr. H., cursed him
ana dared him to come ont on the street. Mr.
H. paid no attention to him, but, as he
was becoming very violent, Mr. E. L.
Beard went out and ordered him off.
Mr. Hayes then went to the Exohange to get
a policeman to arrest this disturber of tile
?ieace, and on returning to his office saw Brad
ey coming up from under tho bluff with about
a dozen negroes following him. Bradley called
out to him to come across the street and see
whether he would do any shooting, at the same
time partially drawing a pistol, and cursing
aud abasing him roundly. At this time Mr.
James Stewart, Clerk of Council, and Mr.
Thomas S. Wayne, City Marshal, came ont of
the Exchange, and Bradley made good time ap
the Bay. They followed him and arrested him
near the corner of Bryon and Whitaker streets.
Some of the negroes became quite excited and
demanded that he should be taken before Cap?
tain Cook, where they said they could get jus?
tice. Bradley was taken to the Police Barracks.
On searching him a Colt's navy revolver, fully
loaded, was found on him. together with a
large roll of greenbacks and other articles. He
seemed very loth to part with a memorandum
book, which may probably contain Borne in?
formation which he would not Uko to have
known. _ _ _
THE Dsp&Kftfatt) C asian ON OF THE Bmvma
TRADE.-There is a great and general depres?
sion in shipping business at all the American
ports, and we hear the most complaints from
Kew York, because there the interests are most
extended. It seems, in fact, a work of mach
more difficulty to re-establish the prosperity
enjoyed by our commercial marine before the
:ivii war Ulan we could have anticipated, es
peciolly in the foreign trade. On this subjeo
the Philadelphia "American" remarks :
The withdrawal of the Canard Une from Bos?
ton affords evidence that the foreign shippers
Teel the depression severely also, although
their great capital and resources enable them
to weather the gale.
All the commercial organs of New York
without a single exception, have been inces?
santly complaining for months past of the
languishing condition of the shipping interest,
ind they have been clamoring vehemently for
some legislation by Congress calculated to
ilford relief. They would hardly speak thus if
the shipping business were not suffering in
New York as severely as anywhere else. Near?
ly all the numerous steamship lines from New
York to' coastwise ports, established at the
alose of the war with so much energy and dis?
play, have failed disastrously and been broken
ap. Indeed, the sympathy between the ship?
ping interest and the general trade of the
sonntry is so close that whatever affects the
one inevitably produces the same results in
the other. If we can relieve the manufacturers
by a large and judicious redaction of taxes,
we shaU renew the activity of the internal and
external trade alike, ana then, and not till
then, American commerce will thrive.
Under these circumstances it ?eems to be
nonsense for any one commercial city of the
seaboard to rejoice in the disastr . us condition
ol another's marine. Doubt lees whenever the
?hipping interest in New York recovers its
activity, that of Boston, Philadelphia and Bal?
timore will recover aleo, and there will be no
lack of freight and passengers for steamers.
Until then it is hard to force business of any
kind. We are in high hopes that with the
opening of Bpring we shall have our taxes low?
ered, our finances adjusted, our industry go?
ing again, a brisk spring trade infusing spirit
into every avenuo of business, and all our
ports lively and enterprising as ever. At pres?
ent tiie general depression is as undeniable as
it is disastrous to numerous interests.
GOOD NEWS FBOM WASHINGTON.-We have
before us a letter (says the Montgomery Mail)
from an eminent lawyer at Washington, who
has abundant opportunity of knowing whereof
he speaks, written to the Central Conservative
Executive Committee of Alabama, in which he
says:
"There is good ground to believe we can yet
save the white government of Alabama and
avert the threatened evils which he before us.
A case from Mississippi, and perhaps one from
Arkansas, will be in the Supreme Court this
term and will be decided, which will test the
constitutionality of the whole Congressional
legislation. If against it, as there is no rea?
son to doubt it will be, the whole business of
reconstruction under it wiU atop at once. This
we can depend on."
THE EHPEBOB MAXIMILIAN SAID TO BE STILL
ALIVE.-The New York correspondence of the
Waterford Mail mentions the following curious
rumor. The letter is dated December 8: 1 'Ad?
miral Telethon", of the Austrian navy, is now
en route for home, with what he believes to be
the body of the unfortunate Maximilian. My
connection with the Mexican agents in this coun?
try forbids my entering into minuti?s, but I can
assert that the remains which will be honored by
Austria are not those of the ill-fated scion of
the House of Hapsburg, bat of Homero, a noted
bandit and guerilla, who in Ufe waB not unUke
poor Maximilian. The latter is pining in an
obscure dungeon in Qneretaro, fed with felon's
food, and awaiting the welcome arrival of death.
The night before his supposed execution, Jua?
rez, uncertain of his own success in seeking
the Presidency, and perhaps unwiUing to im?
brue his hands in royal blood, had the noble
captive conveyed by stealth to a secret den,
and substituted in his stead the ruffian Harne?
ro, hoping, had he not suce eeded in his politi?

Y ou Blay Bo Too Late.
Be warned in time. Diseases like Indigestion and
Dyspepsia are not to be trifled with. There is such
a thing as being too late in these matters. Inflam?
mation, or Sclrrhus Cancer, or some other danger?
ous disease may ensue, when all restoratives, no
matter how potent, would be Ineffectual. Do not
delay them. When the sjmptoms of Dyspepsia are
first experienced, resort at once to the great restora?
tive medicine, HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS,
and you will be safe.
But few disorders involve greater suffering, and,
if not In itself immediately dangerous, it ls the
source of many deadly miladies. Even if it did not
tend to greater evil, the mental and physical misery
it produces is alone a sufficient reason why no paine
should be spared to prevent or cure lt. In no
country on the face of th<> globe is it so completely
domesticated as in our own, where it ls found in
nearly every household. aOSTETTER'S STOMACH
BITTERS are untversalh/ conceded to be the sover?
eign remedy for this annoying disease, as they act
directly upon tho digestive organe, correct and tone
the stomach, and give renewed vitality to the system.
Acting delightfully upon the nerves, and soothing
the brain, renders them efficacious as a mental
medicine, as well as a fenial stomachic. If taken
as a preventive, they will be found particularly well
suited to the diseases arising from the unhealthy
season of Autumn, and their use will prevent the
creeping, unpleasant sensation often complained of
when the chills are stealing slowly upon the patient
